Absolutely. As well as the money laundering and various nefarious pay-offs and loan/investment schemes.And certainly the reason he and his team were so abruptly shuffled off after the election.But this is a huge stinky foot in the door for further inquiries and indictments.A beautifully well placed shot that will stick.Well played Mr. Mueller.

"When the character of a man is not clear to you, look at his friends".

Given the timeframes when Manafort was conducting the Russian lobbying, he's probably more likely to be able to shed light on Sec Clinton's Russian relationships than whatever Trump was doing....but I guess that's beyond this investigation.

Truly nothing is, but cnn tragically tries to level the landscape in favor of the liberals, who are at least as incompetent as our conservatives, but in their desperation have become so much worse, of late. Manafort is a snake in the grass, but he completely pales in comparison to the clinton machine.

Michael D'Antonio for cnn wrote:Manafort is now in the brightest spotlight, as the Trump campaign's former chairman has been indicted by special prosecutor Robert Mueller. Manafort has spent much of his career doing the kind of dirty business that would make him untouchable for a regular president. As a political consultant he became so well known as far back as 1992 for helping the world's strongman dictators that the Center for Public Integrity included him in a report entitled "The Torturers' Lobby: How Human Rights-Abusing Nations are Represented in Washington." In a single year his then-firm, Black, Manafort, Stone and Kelly, got paid more than $3 million by the likes of Nigeria, Kenya, the Philippines and Angola's UNITA rebel group -- all of whom were widely criticized for their dark records on human rights.

And yet the Clinton foundation has raked in millions upon millions more from the same kind of regimes.

Between the Ukrainain donations and the Clinton deal with the russians to sell off 20% of our uranium to Russia the clintons are in much deeper to the Russians, than trump ever could be. He's got a lot of catching up to do. However, so does cnn, when they fail to include those facts in their slanted reporting.

Even when it came to returning donations from the Weinstien scandal hilary lied and kept his doations after declaring that they'd be given to charity.

Trump isn't nearly as evil as the clintons and their loathsome political party, however trump is only a neophyte on the political stage. Given the chance i'm certain he can out do her.

I prefer to continue to use CNN as a source for my political news.Mainly because they dislike Trump like I do. Of course there is BBC, Google News, etc...but I like CNN.After Trump singled CNN out for abuse, (because they were asking uncomfortable questions and reporting the facts) they stillkeep up the pressure and focus on the Emperors seemingly pernicious activities as well as make a big deal when he actually says and does the right thing. Mainly, they don't kiss ass or simply fail to cover issues important to me like Conservative outlets have been doing.

How come MSM isn't covering the shit storm at the DNC?Yesterday Donna Brazil threw Hillary under the bus and ended her political career... but not a peep. There's a reason America hates the press, they're largely full of shit these days.

Couldn't agree with you more OF. Weren't for the internet our pov's would be severely slanted, at least now we can choose the poison that seems closest to the truth.

What I am really looking forward to in all this investigation is for DJ Trump(in person) to finally be hauled in front ofa lawful panel to face an inquiry that can be officially documentedin a venue where he can be held accountable for his answers.So far during his tenure he has managed to wiggle and lie his way arounda multitude of issues by hiding behind shysters and spokespersons and changing his stories toconform to the days news cycle and Twitter feed.

I'd love to see this occur to all of our former commander in chiefs, they'd all be doing prison time! However, i think you'd find Trump's misdeeds are the most minimal, at least this deep into his presidency.

All our former president's have done this it's nothing new. What's new and quite refreshing is how Trump is handling the presidency, with as much aplomb, as his crass personality. He's also, so far, made a far, far better president than Hilary, who should be at the top of everyone's list for questioning.

You may not care for tweeting Rudy, i certainly don't, but i think future presidents will be using the forum too. Much easier way to keep your base informed.

I pretty much agree with you on everything but the "refreshing" part.

I submit that entitled crooked narcissist psychopaths don`t make good or even slightly convincing Statesmen or Diplomats.

I think we can see the Don becoming more and more entrenched with our military leaders though, especially by the time 2020rolls around.
